Ironically, Noah felt the weight fall off his shoulders. You would think someone would be much more grateful to see a patron than their manager, but Sloane was somewhat of a second mother figure in Noah's life... Especially with the backup she usually provided to the angry drunks. "Scared me there for a second, Boss Lady," he replied with a chuckle, still carefully placing the glass he'd been polishing next to the others. No matter what, there was a great level of respect toward the other.
"Been pretty slow actually... Something going on out there?" Then, with some realization, "you know-- beyond the usual."
she didn't mean to catch him off guard and give him a fright. it was the last thing she wanted to do. "you've nothing to worry about, noah. not unless you've ben getting up to some trouble" she smiled, wagging her finger in her motherly fashion. she knew fine well that he would be fine but she felt protective over noah and the rest of the staff she worked with.
"nothing since the whole ren faire debacle. people are still creeped out at what happened. i've not seen some of the regulars in days because of it"
@huntsvillestarter / open to all
Noah thought about calling out this shift. He had been working more hours than he probably should have and it was definitely taking a toll on his psyche. That being said, it was almost worse to stay home at a time like this. At least the people kept it interesting and his mind off the worst. One evil was a bit greater than the other and he knew that all too well.
“Welcome! I’ll be right with you!” He called, turning on his usual charm as he finished polishing a glass and set it right back where it belonged. A part of him was really hoping for one of his regulars as he turned the corner to see who it was.
after a few days off, sloane was back in the bar to work on the staff rota and do a shift of her own. it was good to see noah in good spirits despite what had happened in town recently "it's alright, noah. it's just me" she called back to let him know there was no need to rush.
"how's things been in here then?"

Phoenix almost cursed at her, before letting out a breath, that wasn't how he acted with her and he wasn't about to start snapping at his friends. "This is why I tried to convince Bradley to just let us be Sawyers," he grumbled, even if he didn't regret that they hyphenated, he was just frustrated. Scratching at his beard, he rubbed his jaw before nodding, "I know you're right, it's just...I just want them for once to tell me themselves what's going on. If it ends up in the paper afterwards it feel less like a dig. I feel like a stranger to my own family," he admitted. Glancing at her he hesitated before asking, "It get any easier, having everyone stare at you all the time?"
she could feel the frustration radiating off him and she didn't blame him for being pissed about it all. she would've been too. "you know fine well bradley would never have let you be sawyers. legacy families have weight around here and that can tip the scale" even now politics were still in play when it came to power. now more than ever. "not to be defending your family or anything but maybe they want to but this paper or the gossip mill beats them to it. people around here love a gossip, especially the old dears." slone put her hand on his should and gave it a squeeze. "talk to them, phoenix. tell them how you feel and it'll bridge the gap. they're your family, they'll hear you out" she smiled softly, hoping things would get better for him. she thought over his question for a moment for the best way to word her answer "no, never. i'm better at pretending to ignore it now than when i was when i was younger. i feel like i'm one of those animals that escape a zoo and is found roaming the streets and no one knows what to do with me, so they just stare and leave me to it in hopes that i don't go crazy and bite them"

Phoenix spotted Sloane and made a bee line towards her, the latest gossip column clutched to his side so hard his knuckles were white. Leave it to Dahlia to track him down and show him the latest of his brother's stunts. "You. Me. Drinks now," he said simply as he walked next to her, before holding out the paper to her. "Have you read this? Why the hell is it always my family in this damn thing? I'm just so goddamn tired of this shit," he said shaking his head in frustration.
minding her business and walking along the street suddenly switched to phoenix calling her for drinks and waving a paper around. sloane took the paper and read over the contents, letting out a whistle at the latest of the romero family drama "i hate to break it to you bud, but your family make up a large percentage of this town and you're a legacy family. people want to know shit about you guys." she started, tossing the paper into a bin as they passed by it on their walk "i know you're tired, and i know you're pissed, but you need to keep a clear head. this is just idle gossip because people are bored and have nothing to talk about. you gotta focus on what's important to you, don't let this towns rumour mill eat you alive"
where: ren faire who: sloane elettra (@sloane-elettra)
Conrad saw Sloane and almost turned around and headed the other way. But that would be rude, and Sloane had been nothing but kind to him, in her way. He'd just never seen her while sober, and he wasn't entirely sure what she'd say when she saw him here. But it would be rude to run away, right?
“Um. Hi, Ms. Sloane,” he said once she'd caught up to him. “Enjoying the faire?”
sloane gave him a wave when he approached her at the faire. "conrad, how many times do i need to tell you, just call me sloane" she laughed. at least he had good manners, he was a good boy. "it's...different. i've never done or been into the whole renaissance thing before but i like it. and if you make any sort of age joke i'll make sure you only get non-alcoholic beer in future" she smirked
closed starter for: @sloane-elettra
with a knack for angering people, it was no wonder jareth was trying to escape the wrath of an angry vendor that he'd been trying to bargain with. he thought that, maybe, he'd learn his lesson someday, but that hadn't happened yet and he was already pushing thirty. but there he was, rushing through the crowd like a battering ram, just doing his best not to completely bowl people over, though that was an impossible task. before he knew it, jareth was coming into contact with another body, his feet skidding to a stop and his hands held up, clearly at fault. "i'm so sorry! so sorry. are you alright? did i cause physical damage?"
walking her way through the crowd, she appreciated the fact that she had some time off to enjoy the ren faire. trying to manoeuvre her way through the crowd without bumping into anyone was proving to be more difficult than it needed to be. just when she thought she found a gap in the crowd she collided with someone "it's alright, i'm good. i'm all good. i guess you're trying to avoid the crowd like i am?"
where: claire's pie stand who: sloane elettra (@sloane-elettra)
“Sloane! Oh my gosh, you look absolutely stunning. Do you want some pie? I've got quite the variety here. I've got cherry, blueberry, blackberry, apple, apple and pear, peach, banana with chocolate and peanut butter, strawberry, pumpkin, sweet potato, key lime, and . . . oh! and raspberry pie,” Claire listed off in a ramble. She blinked behind her glasses, realizing all the pies were labeled and she was doing it again. Being weird. She laughed self-consciously and pushed her glasses up her nose. “Feel free to browse of course. Oh! And if you'd like a sample, I can cut you off a bit.”
sloane was enjoying her time walking around the faire. she had been stopping by each stall to see what was on offer and found herself at claire's pie stand "claire, if that sweet as pie personality of yours doesn't win people over, then those pies will." she smiled and scanned each of the pies while claire listed them off. "i'll take some of the cherry, the apple and peach. the folks back at the bar could be doing with a cheer up treat"
“Hey now don't slander my best friend, my faults are all my own,” he said, an amused grin on his face to match hers. Taking the shot, he didn't hesitate to throw it back, briefly grimacing at the taste. Opting instead to wash it down with the beer, giving her a nod of thanks. “I want to believe this was a shock to him too and that's why he hasn't told me, but,” sighing he shook his head, “He's always kept things to himself, so I can't even tell if this was on purpose or not.” Taking a long sip he shrugged, “Tired, feels like there's always something going on and I'm the last to hear about it,” looking at her he took another sip, “And you, any life changing events come your way?”
"i will slander and you will agree because you know his shenanigans are dramatic and troublesome. he's lucky i like him and he's got you to thank for that" she laughed and served another customer in between their conversation "well have you asked him if it was purposeful or not? seems like the quickest way to get an answer from hawk" she suggested "i know that feeling all to well" sloane didn't like seeing phoenix down on himself, the man had been through enough "other than kicking someone new out the bar this week, nope, nothing new. i was seeing someone a while ago but i broke that off"
"Troublemaker?" Dodger raised an eyebrow from his slouched position on the bar, following on with his signature grin. "C'mon sweetheart, when have I ever been trouble in all the years you've known me?" Someone that actively slept in the corner of the building could hardly be considered trouble right? Aside from taking up space, plus if there was ever an issue, Phoenix was the one to clear it up for him. Oh the joy of having a close bond with a Romero. "Beer please," he finally ordered, "cold one if possible."
"you know what you are" she smirked, clearly no seriousness in her words "you've always been trouble. well particular trouble in going home or paying your bar tabs. phoenix is always in here collecting you or paying your tabs" she chuckled. she laughed but it was good to know that people were still looking out for one another in the town. "a cold one? my, someone's feeling classy today" she grinned and fetched his cold beer "savour it, these things go fast these days"
Phoenix slid into the bar stool, setting his arms on the bar he set his face in hands and let out a groan of frustration. Glancing up at Sloane he rolled his eyes, "I am not trouble, that's the rest of my family." Pulling out the latest gossip column he tossed it on the bar, "Something strong, apparently I'm an uncle again. Have been for over 20 something years," he said shaking his head, his tone practically dripping with bitterness. He thought he and Hawk had reached an understanding, but finding out his brother had a secret daughter was pushing him past his limits. "I'm going to go full gray before 45, I can feel it."
she knew that groan from anywhere, and she knew it meant that he had had a tough day. "oh you're just as troublesome, you have dodger to thanks for that" she grinned and placed a glass onto the bar. grabbing the moonshine, she poured him a shot of that and started on a beer for him "a moonshine for the mine and a beer for the company" sloane placed down the beer "oh i read about that, that's really something. finding out you got a kid and now she's stuck here with you? rough." she was surprised that phoenix hadn't gone grey already with the stress he'd been under in life "how are you doing? really."
Lori could describe themself as a lot of things, but troublemaker had never really been one of them. Still, they smiled at the nickname thrown at them, and shrugged a shoulder. "Anything sweet, I guess?" They said, not bothering to think too hard about it. Options were always limited in Huntsville, and they weren't very picky anyway. "How has your day been?"
"you got it" she nodded and went about her business behind the bar to produce the sweet drink they had asked for. bar work these days was a lot of adding substitutes to get the end result, there was only so much different types of alcohol around. "it's been alright, relatively quiet and nothing exceptional, the usual. how has yours been?"
